“The Bacardi liquor story is every bit as engaging as Cuba’s tumultuous political history, and both narrative strands are inexorably intertwined.” -The Washington Post

“A gripping saga that tells us just as much about human nature and the struggle between power and freedom as it does about Bacardi’s transformation from a fledgling business into the world’s top family-owned distiller.” -The Wall Street Journal

“It’s hard to imagine that any [Cuban history] is as enjoyable . . . as smooth and refreshing as a well-made daiquiri.” -Barry Gewen, The New York Times
